Abstract:
Archaeological excavations in the al-Waṭṭa quarter in Safed unearthed a significant pottery collection dated to the Mamluk period. Of these, 22 ceramic vessels, including plain and glazed cooking and table wares, were selected for petrographic analysis. The finds were ascribed to three groups: Group 1, originating in the Mount Ḥermon foothills, in the southern Lebanon Range or in Transjordan; Group II, probably a local source, likely pointing to a local production; and Group III, a Basaltic Brown Mediterranean soil, which outcrops in the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and the Korazim plateau.
